You thought I wasn't going to show up because Destructoid is going to be up and down all day, didn't you? Well I'm here for the weekends so you're not getting rid of me that easily. Just because you won't be able to read my posts for large chunks of the weekend doesn't mean I'm not going to write them. So buckle yourselves in everyone, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
To kick off this weekend of posts you can't read I'm going to show you some images you probably won't be able to look at, and if advertising/branding agency Fluidesign hadn't posted them on their Flickr site as part of a case study for its promotional materials behind The House of the Dead: Overkill we would have never seen them anyway. There's box art, ad art, and awesomely awesome t-shirts all mocked up for the fantastic (personal opnion that does not reflect Destructoid as a whole) game. If you haven't played the game yet, then hopefully these mockups may convince you to check it out. It's worth having around the house for when all you want to do is point at something, pull a trigger and then watch its head explode.
[Update: Flabzilla noticed that all the artwork has Wi-Fi connectivity plastered on it. Was online light-gunning a posibility at some point? It's probable, and if so one wonders why they cut it out.]

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

I actually have yet to play this game. Though I did watch some of my friends play it and it was still entertaining. I think at the peak we had about ten drunk guys in a dorm room laughing our asses off at those cutscenes.
It's still a blast, though. Only, instead of a sex-induced pleasure, it feels more like dry humping. Without the climax. Enough of awful analogies.
